Cellular devices use in schools is not always good. It can make it easy for students to cheat. Students taking pictures of a test and sending it to their friend so that they can get the answers. Also the cell phone could also be a huge distraction to the student and maybe even students around them. Students would also be able to bully other students during the day by texts or calls etc. Saying harming or harassing things to the person and threatening them. Another way is that the students could record the teachers and not everyone is perfect and could post it on the internet or somewhere not safe and could do some harm to the person. Lastly students if they do not know a definition lets say they can easily text sties like Cha-Cha during a test and get the definitions and that is a major way for cheating.

Said Curtis Walker. So there are some of the ways that people think that using cell phones in school are not a positive thing and could really do some harm to people and could be used for major cheating, and also distractions to the one student or to other students.
